O&O Portugal is pleased and privileged to bring to the market a beautiful property that offers a rare opportunity for a buyer with imagination to enjoy luxury rural living, yet with the retained rustic charm of a traditional Portuguese farmhouse or Quinta.The property, set within 3.1 hectares, includes the main residential home, a detached annex plus three wooden chalets providing separate accommodation for guests, plus a delightful swimming pool surrounded by extensive wooden decking and shaded by mature trees.The farmhouse was built in 1951 but was updated and upgraded in 2010 with no-expense-spared contemporary styling, fitments and fittings that leave the occupier with the sensation of living in the best of both worldsmodern luxury living in a rural paradise combined with mid-20th century rustic charisma.The upgrade ensured all the character was maintained, but to fit in with 21st century sophisticated living, the introduction of modern, technology and techniques resulted in a beautiful merging of the old and the new to provide heightened countryside comforts in a beautiful landscape redolent with peace and solitude.The main house, with its thick walls keeping out the summer heat and the winter chills, has classic wooden shutters to the double-glazed tilt-and-turn PVC windows and several covered outdoor areas, best to enjoy al fresco living whilst enjoying the views across the broad expanse of countryside.The abundant space spread across the farms extensive landa country road separates the main house from a larger strip of land which also includes a lake and stablemeans that if the buyer so wishes, there is the prospect of creating a business away from the main house, dedicated to rural tourism, such as a glamping experience.Entrance to the farm is via a double gateway flanked by curved stone walls, with a driveway leading up to the main house. All around on its own land are various outbuildingsincluding three covered areas for car parkingdozens of trees of all types (possibly more than 100), not to mention plants, even bamboos.The main house benefits from three bedrooms, the master being especially spacious, with a large beautifully finished ensuite. The other two bedrooms, serviced by an equally well-finished family bathroom, are equally good sized with plenty of storage.The house has pellet burning central heating, air conditioning and an abundance of solar panels to heat the domestic water supply. The pellet burner system can be found in an exterior division, which is basically the engine room of the property.The house itself is accessed via a bright entrance hallway, to the left of which is the spacious main lounge, with a large fireplace, part of the pellet-burning central heating system.The lounge leads to the superbly-equipped dining kitchen with its polished cement finishings and worktops, and off the kitchen is a large covered area opened up to the rear of the property, and benefitting from a stove for winter warmth plus a large table should you wish to dine directly outside the kitchen.The three bedrooms are to the right of the entrance hallway, with the master furthest along the corridor. This is a particularly beautiful and spacious sanctuary and has French doors to both the front and rear of the house.The polished cement is again a feature of its ensuite, with its spacious walk-in shower.Behind the house and accessed from the kitchen, is a private and sheltered enclosed space with a lovely detached annex, a centrally-heated studio apartment once again finished to a high specification and a laundry.There is also an outdoor kitchen, a smokehouse and an exterior toilet for guest usage when hosting a BBQ or a party, plus a shower for cooling off on those extremely hot days for which the Algarve is so well known.The land further to the rear of the house features the attractive and inviting swimming pool area, with feature decking to all sides providing plenty of space for sunbeds and recliners.Then there are three wooden houses which have all their own facilities for guests. One is specially tailored to children, a wood-crafted double-storey adventure experience accessed by a flight of stairs to an observation area with windows on all sides for the youngsters to bring alive their imaginations in a magical playtime.All in all, taking the various buildings into account, one could imagine oneself in the centre of ones own village!To the front, and across the road (which also has the convenience of a bus service) the larger expanse of land belonging to the Quinta has the lake, the stable and the potential for agricultural activities, the growing of produce for the owners own use.The farm is close to Carrascalinho, just a short drive to the town of Rogil, with its restaurants, bars and market, and the larger historic riverside town of Aljezur also close by. And also within easy reach, just a short drive away, are the Atlantic beaches of Praia de Vale dos Homens and Praia da Carriagem.To view this wonderful property which offers a truly fabulous lifestyle, please contact Matt D'Arcy at our Aljezur office for more details, or to arrange a viewing.
